Redemption Island (also known as Island of the Dead, Isla Puragotyo, Vale dos Exilados, Ghost Island, Exile Beach, Kembali, Redemption Rock, Purgatory, and Utopia) is a major twist that has appeared in multiple international versions of Survivor.
Concept[]
The concept of Redemption Island rooted from three foreign versions of the Survivor franchise, namely, the Island of the Dead of the Israeli version, Isla Purgatoryo in the Philippine version's second installment, and Ghost Island from the Serbian version. Instead of being eliminated for good, players that have been voted off from their tribes will be given an opportunity to re-enter the game and have a second shot at winning the game.
Format[]
Brazil[]
No Limite 3 was the first season of the Survivor franchise to use the concept of Redemption Island. After the fifth elimination, the castaways went to the Vale dos Exilados to wait for the chance to compete to re-enter to the game at the final three.
South Africa[]
In Survivor South Africa: Panama, starting at the merge, the castaways voted out at Tribal Council would be exiled to an island called Dead Man's Island without knowledge of the castaways remaining at the game, where they would wait to compete for two spots to re-enter the game at the Final Three.

Philippines[]
The twist was implemented during Survivor Philippines: Palau where the inhabitant had similar rations of supplies and food as the tribes, and a companion dog, a golden retriever named Jumbo. The incumbent inhabitant and the challenger competed in a Face-Off Challenge where the winner received the second Immunity Bracelet disguised as the other eye of the tribal Immunity Idol. If the inhabitant's former tribe won a Reward Challenge, the inhabitant secretly received a portion of their reward.
Isla Purgatory was only in play during the pre-merge phase of the game, after which the winner of the final Face-Off Challenge returned to the game as part of the merged tribe and had individual immunity for their first Tribal Council.

New Zealand[]
Redemption Island was featured in Survivor NZ's inaugural season. Redemption Island was played exactly as the American version, with the slight difference that two players returned to the game instead of one upon the conclusion of the final duel.
Three contestants returned to the game from Redemption Island: Shay in the first duel; Mike and Nate in the second duel.
La Isla: El Reality[]
There would be duels each week, but, in each duel, a contestant will be returning to the game, while another will be eliminated. The contestant who returns will be able to choose the Tribe they want to go into. When they enter their new Tribe, this tribe will send a contestant from the same gender to Playa Destierro. It lasted from Day 2 to Day 20. The contestant who returns from Playa Destierro will have this bracelet, and will be immune at the next Trial, in case their Tribe goes to Trial.
France[]
In Koh-Lanta: Le Combat des Héros, every castaway voted out at Tribal Council is secretly sent to Exile Island, where they compete in duels where one castaway is permanently eliminated from the game. The twist is revealed to the remaining castaways two days after the first post-merge Tribal Council, where the final duel takes place and the winning castaway comes back in the game.
In Koh-Lanta: La Légende, the eliminated candidates have a chance to continue the adventure thanks to duels that will allow the last two adventurers left on the island to return to the game at the merge. Adventurers eliminated after the merge will also benefit from this second chance in the hope that the last remaining adventurer will return to the Orienteering Challenge.
In Koh-Lanta: Le Feu Sacré, the eliminated pair (Clémence and Esteban) discovered that they had a second chance during a duel. In the end, Esteban won this duel and will face the next eliminated. Clémence is definitively eliminated. Following the reward and immunity challenge, a Impromptu Tribal Council is announced after the challenge, Tania is eliminated following her poor performance on the challenge. Esteban and Tania met again for the second and last duel, and Tania won this duel and thus reintegrated the adventure. Esteban is definitively eliminated.
